Summary

The current revenue cycle may be the most challenged of any segment in healthcare as the industry prepares for transformation. Revenue cycle leaders may have current and comprehensive data on the status of key revenue cycle processes, but traditional revenue cycle management has been targeted to claims processing and reimbursement rather than working collaboratively with other stakeholders to improve quality and reduce cost. With healthcare reform, revenue cycle leaders face a shift from oversight of healthcare rules and regulations to other critical competencies such as data analysis, risk management, and financial business intelligence. 

This seminar provides strategies to help leaders leverage data into actionable information to transform processes, practices, and culture to drive revenue cycle performance in their organization. The program includes a real-life provider case study to highlight the importance of benchmarks and their ability to impact management decision making. This includes the use of comparable data to identify and manage trends, forecast performance, identify opportunities for process improvements, leverage data to change behaviors, and accelerate transformation in the revenue cycle. 

After this seminar, you'll be able to:

  • Integrate key performance indicators and best practice benchmarks into revenue cycle goals and enhance outcomes.
  • Focus on demographics that are truly meaningful to transform your organization.
  • Integrate and effectively communicate critical opportunities (e.g., date analysis) with all stakeholders.
